Kicad download for windows 2019

Instructions for installation and work are available below.
Follow the step by step guide A to Z direction.

1. Run “KiCad.exe”.

2. You will now be in the Main window.

3. Create a new project: “Projects” ->
“New Project Descr”.

4. Click on the “Create New Folder” button, and
name the folder as “Tute1”

5. Open the directory by clicking on it.

6. Enter the name of the project in “File Name”,
for this tutorial we will call “tute1”. Click on “Save”.
Note that the name of the project changed to “tute1”.

8. Double click on “tute1.sch”

9. An informative window will appear indicating that it is a
new project. Make click on “OK”

10. You are now in the “EESchema” window. This
window is used to introduce schemes.

56. In the center of the screen the name of the component
should appear.

57. Double click on the magnifying glass to zoom in.

58. Click on the “Add Pins” button in the toolbar
on the right.

Click with the left button on the screen where you want the
pin.

59. In the “Pin Properties” box, enter the name of
the pin as “VCC” and the pin number as “1”.

60. Select “Electrical Type” as “Power
Out” then click on “OK”. Then to locate the pin, click where you
want it to appear.

61. Repeat steps 59 to 61, this time “Pin Name”
will be “INPUT” and “Pin Number “will be” 2 “.
“Electrical Type” will be “Input”.

62. Repeat steps 59 to 61, now “Pin Name” will be
“GND” and “Pin Number” It will be “3”.
“Electrical Type” will be “Power Out”.

63. Place the pins and labels as shown in the figure in step
65.

65. Click on the “Add rectangle” button. By
clicking with the left button and keeping the button pressed, a rectangle will
be placed around the pin names.

66. Click on “Save current part into current loaded
library (in memory)” in the top toolbar.

67. Click on “Save current loaded library on disk (file
update)” in the bar of superior tools.

68. Click on “yes” in the confirmation message.

69. Now you can close the “Libedit” window.

70. Return to the “EeSchema” window.

71. Repeat steps 14 through 20, however, this time select
“conn” and “MYCONN3”.

72. The new created part will appear. Select a place near
the second resistance to place this component. Press the ‘y’ key to move it on
the y axis.

73. The identifier of the “J?” Component will
appear below the label “MYCONN3”. Right click on “J?” And
then on “move” field “. Reposition “J?” Under the
pins.

74. Click on the “Add powers” button in the
toolbar of the right.

75. Click on the resistance pin of 1k.

76. In “Component Selection” clicks on list all.

77. In the “Select Part” window, scroll down and
select “VCC”.

78. Click on the resistance pin of 1k to place the part.

79. Click on the VDD pin near the microcontroller.

80. In “Component Selection history” selects
“VCC” and click again near the VDD pin.

81. Repeat again and place the VCC pin on the VCC pin of
“MYCONN3”.

82. Repeat steps 74 through 76 but this time selects GND.

83. Place the GND pin under the GND pin of “MYCONN3”.

84. Place the small GND symbol on the right and below the
VSS pin on the microcontroller.

85. Click on “Add wires” in the right toolbar **
Caution, Do not choose “Add bus” which appears just below but has
more lines thick **

86. Click on the small circle at the end of pin 7 of the
microcontroller and then on the small circle of pin 2 of the LED.

87. Repeat the process to wire the other components as shown
below.

88. When placing the VCC and GND symbol wires, the wire
should touch the lower part of the VCC symbol and in the middle of the top of
the GND symbol.

89. Label the network by clicking on the “Add wire or
bus label” button in the toolbar on the right.

90. Click on the middle of the cable between the
microcontroller and the LED.

91. Enter the name “uCtoLED”.

92. Click near the circle of pin 7 (on the right) to place
the name of the net.

93. Name the cable between the resistor and the LED as
“LEDtoR”.

94. Name the cable between “MYCONN3” and the
resistance as “INPUTtoR”.

95. Name the line to the right of the 100 ohm resistor as
“INPUT”.

96. Name the line from pin 6 as “INPUT”. This creates an invisible connection between the two pins labeled “INPUT”. This is a useful technique in the case of complex designs that make the process of drawing the lines turn the drawing into something tangled.

97. You do not need to label the VCC and GND lines, the
labels are implicit for the electrical objects to which they are connected.

98. The program automatically checks for errors, so any cable
that is not connected will generate a warning. To avoid these warnings can tell
the program that the unconnected cables are deliberate

99. Click on the “Add no connect” flag in the
toolbar right.

100. Click on the small circle at the end of lines 2, 3, 4,
and 5.

101. To add comments to the schema, use “Add graphics
text (comment)” located in the toolbar on the right.

102. Now it is necessary to give unique identifiers to the
components. For do this by clicking on the “Schematic Annotation”
button.

122. Select the file “tute1.net”; with this you will
open the netlist file. East describes which components and which pins are connected
to other pins.

123. Now go back to the “EeSchema” window.

124. To create a list of materials, click on the button
“Bill of materials “in the toolbar at the top.

125. Click on “Create List” and then
“Save”.

126. To see the file, repeat step 120 and select
“tute1.lst”.

127. Now click on the “Run Pcbnew” button in the
toolbar higher.

128. The “Pcbnew” window will open.

129. Click on “OK” in the error message, for the
non-existent file.

130. Click on “files” -> “Save
board”.

131. Click on the “page settings” button in the
toolbar higher.

132. Select “A4” in “paper size” and
enter “Tute 1” as the title.

133. Click on “Dimensions” -> “Tracks and
Vias”.

134. Select the configurations to match the capabilities from
the manufacturer of your PCB. (Consult the manufacturer of your PCB to obtain
this information.) For this example increase “clearance” to 0.0150
“.

135. Click on the “Read Netlist” button in the
toolbar higher.

136. Click on the “Select” button, select
“tute1.net”, click on “Open” and the “Read”
button. Then click on the “Close” button.

137. The components will be located in the upper left corner
in the top of the page, slide up to see them.

138. Click with the right mouse button and select “move
component” and place it in the middle of the page.

139. Repeat the previous steps until all the components are
found in the center of the page.

140. Make sure that the “General rats nest not
show” button is activated.

141. This will show the rats net, which is a set of lines
that show which pins are connected.

142. Move the components until you minimize the crossings
between lines in the rats nest.

143. If the rats nest disappears or becomes very complex
click with the button right mouse and then select “redraw”.

197. Move the labels “MYCONN3” and “SMD”
so that they are visible over.

198. Click on the “Add graphic line or polygon”
button in the bar right tools.

199. Draw the outline of the connector around the component.

200. Click on “Save Module in working directory”
in the bar superior tools.

201. Now you can go back to PCB new and click on the
“Add modules” button in the right toolbar.

202. Click on the screen and the name of the module will
appear.

203. Select the module “MYCONN3” and place it in
your design.
